Doctor Blade Coating Tester

The blade Coater test machine uses an electric motor to drive the blade to move uniformly across the substrate surface, spreading the coating into a wet film of specified thickness. It is used to simulate the coating process, test the leveling and hiding power of coatings, and is suitable for quality control in industries such as inks and paper.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the coating width to the sample size, ensuring the blade gap adjustment range covers common film thicknesses, and the substrate clamping must be secure. Motor stability affects coating uniformity, and additional functions like temperature control should be configured according to actual process requirements.
